HYPOTENSION

Some of you may suffer from low blood pressure or “hypotension” that causes only mild symptoms like dizziness when standing. But, others suffer from hypotension with serious symptoms that requires a visit to the doctor in order to address the primary health cause and give the appropriate treatment.

If you suffer from the first type of hypotension, the goal will be to raise the blood pressure through lifestyle modifications in order to prevent and reduce signs and symptoms.

Here are some suggestions that you may follow:

Add more salt to your meals. But be aware that excess sodium can lead to health problems such as heart failure. That’s why it’s preferable to check with your doctor before increasing the salt in your diet

Aim to drink more water, 8 to 10 cups daily. It will help to prevent dehydration and increase blood volume
